How we do

EDITIONED LINE

We make these jeans in small runs and expect to sell every pair. A run might be as low as 40 and is rarely higher than 400. The leather patch on the back tells what number pair you have and how large the run size was.

OUR FIT MENTOR

In 2008, Chris Ellsberg, a master pattern maker with 60 years of experience, walked into our workshop and changed the game. She had heard we were making jeans with old-school methods and wanted to be a part of it. Back then, we didn’t have money to pay ourselves, much less Chris. But she signed on anyway because the work meant more to her than the money. Chris has taught us loads about the art of making jeans that flatter the lines of the body.

SECRET HIP BONES

After you’ve worn your jeans a few months, they’re no longer two dimensional. They become shaped like your body. So, we thought we’d give them bones. Victor found a hip x-ray and started silk-screening bones on the inside of the front pockets — in the anatomically correct position next to your real hip bones.

WASHING RAW DENIM

Start your raw denim snug but not too tight - they stretch out a bit over time. Then, wear them as much as possible before washing — this sets the creases and the wear pattern. When they start to smell, it’s time to give them a wash.

Indigo adheres to the outside of the yarn, but the center is still white. The longer you wear them without washing the first time, the higher the contrast will be on your fade.

WE SIGN EVERY PAIR

When we started, we made every pair ourselves and signed each one. For us, it was just what you did when you made something and you were proud of it. Today, when one of our jeansmiths has reached a point where they’re as good or better than we are, we have a little ceremony and we give them a sharpie so they can start signing their work. Look for the signature on the inside front pocket.
